The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has replied critics who condemned him for kneeling at the Paul’s Anglican Church, Ife, Osun State, during his coronation thanksgiving service.
In a statement by the Director of  Communication and Public Affairs, Ooni’s Palace, Ile Ife, Mr.  Moses Olafare on Thursday in Osogbo, the state capital, the Ooni said no earthly king is greater than the almighty God.
Ogunwusi, unapologetically, said he did not regret kneeling before the Supreme one above, vowing that he would not stop to worship God as He made it possible for him to be crowned the Ooni.
The statement read: ”It is an unacceptable sacrilege to equate Ooni’risa or other king to the almighty God. God Is the creator of mankind and it is God that made it possible for the enthronment of any king.
“The attention of Ile Oodua  has been drawn to a publication released Wednesday 16th 2015 by an online medium known as NEWSPUNCH in which His Imperial Majesty, Ooni’risa & Arole Oodua Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi(OjajaII) was crtisised for bowing to God.“God remains the highest, the king of kings  who has kept all kings  alive and has made it possible for me to be crowned as the  king  of the source of Yoruba civilisation.
“I have no  regrets whatsoever for kneeling down to exalt the almighty God who did not only create me,  but also kept me alive, saw me through all the storms in my,  life-journey and eventually crowned me as the custodian  of Oodua race.
“This act of equating me to God of gods of king of kings  and the sole owner of the universe is a wicked sacrilege planned to embarrass the throne. My emergence as Oba has been made possible only by the almighty Olodumare to whom I remain eternally grateful.”
Oba Ogunwusi was chosen as the new Ooni of Ife in October, 2015 following the death of Oba Okunade Sijuwade who passed away in London on July 28.
He was subsequently crowned on November 23, 2015 in a secret ceremony in Ile-Ife.
